Pre-KODE5 with whiMp

SEC was your first event with mTw, and KODE5 will be your second major event this year. Your period fitting in with the team seems to have found its end. How do you feel things have changed since your entry shortly before SEC?

I feel that my style of play is much closer to the way this team plays and I know how to play my part in the different strategies.

Your latest success was at SLAP LIVE #14 in Århus. Does playing on a "home-field" give you any advantages in beating e.g. foreign teams and do you see the Russian teams favored at KODE5?

Since we didn't play any matches on the stage at SLAP LIVE #14 and the limited space behind our table we didn't get to feel the true supporting spirit from all the Danes, e.g. at ESWC all the French are rooting big time for their teams and I guess that you can call that a homefield-advantage. Therefore I believe that the Russians probably will have a minor advantage.

This is definitely not your first international final. You have been played in both ESWC and WCG finals earlier on. KODE5 will however be a first-timer for both you and the team. What do you expect from the event?

The event has been postponed for a long time now and with all the qualifiers in a lot of countries I expect the experience of KODE5 to be almost as huge as ESWC and WCG.

The team and you will prior to KODE5 have a bootcamp in Copenhagen. What things have you been working on to improve for this event? What's the main objective with this bootcamp and could you do without it?

At the last two bootcamps we have been working on to improve our teamplay and strategies, however, we will use this bootcamp to get the right shape as individual players and maybe improve our teamplay and strategies a bit. We could probably survive without this bootcamp but our chances of winning anything would get reduced.

Teams such as HellRaisers and DSS (former k23) should be counted as underdogs at KODE5. Do you see them as a great threat to you and why?

Underdogs are always a threat because you have no idea about how they play etc.

Will KODE5 have mTw on top of the podium? Who do you see as the biggest rivals and who's most likely to fail in your eyes?

Hopefully we will and we don't really have rivals because we haven't played a lot of international events together yet. But there are a lot of threats since some of the world's best teams are attending. I really don't know who are likely to fail.
